BERLIN. Let battle commence! The submission phase for the “2020 Fritz Höger Award for Brick Architecture” begins on 2 December 2019. The internationally renowned architecture prize is being presented for the fifth time by the Bauen mit Backstein Initiative, and is once again supported by the Association of German Architects (BDA). The Bauen mit Backstein Initiative awards the Fritz Höger Award for Brick Architecture to architects and planners who make use of the traditional building material of brick’s potential in a future-focused manner. The competition is looking for properties with building shells that exhibit impressive brick architecture and create tangible added value – either in economic, ecological, design or functional terms. All of the information required to enter the competition can be found on the competition website: fritz-hoeger-preis.com. At its fifth outing, the Fritz Höger Award for Brick Architecture is still a young award, but one which has a wide reach, counting more than 600 national and international submissions last time it was held. This already makes it one of the biggest and most relevant German and European architecture prizes ever. The high number of submissions again expected in this round, as well as the extensive organisation of the judges’ activities, mean that the entry fee has had to be increased to Euro 189. Anyone wishing to make a submission by mid of February can benefit from the cheaper early-bird tariff of Euro 139. Newcomers are completely exempt from the fee. The 2020 Fritz Höger Award for Brick Architecture, which comes with Euro 10,000 in prize money, is awarded for the following categories: • Detached house/semi-detached house • Residential building/apartment complex • Office and commercial buildings • Public buildings, recreation and sport Prizes are also awarded in the following categories: • Energy efficiency • Renovation/sustainability • Young talent/newcomer Projects that have a brick façade and which were completed after 1 January 2015
